some guy put a harley motor into a Ford Festiva once. I think a sport bike motor would have trouble with a car that weighs so much. Maybe I'm wrong though.

If it turns a smart car into a burnout machine, I think it would provide ample power for a Yaris.

A well-tuned turbo Busa engine outputs 400 HP. No modifications required. They're built to run.

Its not the HP its the torque. Of course it would move the car but what happens when it trys to pull a 2200# car up a hill. I mean I could be way off base here, not that it even matters.

It may matter. Some kid with $10,000 to blow might run across this thread and make my day. I've met these people before, and they're all crazy.

Either the 'Busa engine or the ZX-14 engine would both have more torque than the 1NZ. Not to mention about 80 more HP.

I just popped a boner thinking about the exhaust note of a Yaris with that swap in it.
